North Carolina wrestling head coach C.D. Mock announced Tuesday the promotion of assistant coach Cary Kolat to the title of associate head coach.

"Cary has been a major force behind our very strong recruiting classes the past two years and will continue to spearhead the technique and training aspects of the program," head coach C.D. Mock said.

Kolat is in his second tour with the Tar Heels after serving as an assistant from 2002-03. Kolat rejoined the Tar Heels in 2010 as director of operations before being elevated to an assistant coaching role.

Kolat led the Carolina training program a year ago and will continue to do so in his new role as associate head coach.

"Bringing Cary to UNC and now having him as a partner in leading this program will be instrumental in the overall success of UNC wrestling in the years to come," Mock added.
